HOUSTON, TX – March 18, 2025 – Hope Media Group (HMG) formally announces plans to expand its presence in the Houston area with the opening of its new Ministry & Media Center in the Valley Ranch Entertainment District in New Caney, Texas in June 2025. The nonprofit media organization currently reaches audiences of approximately 4 million people across the nation through its multiple brands and employs nearly 200 team members across nine current offices in the US. Over the next two years, HMG is projected to expand its portfolio of offerings and bring at least 50 positions to its new, state of the art Houston headquarters funded by generous donors, with the capacity to hold more than 220 team members alone. This move celebrates HMG’s ultimate vision to streamline operations, go from nine national offices to two hubs, and strategically increase content to engage more listeners.

HMG CEO Joe Paulo, shares, “This further positions Hope Media Group as a multi- media ministry reaching the nation from a new collaborative and content creator-focused facility in Houston and studios in the heart of the Christian music industry, Franklin, TN. Concentrating our operations from these two locations will help propel us forward even more to accomplish our mission.”

HMG engages audiences nationwide through streaming, radio, short-form videos, podcasts, apps, and live events. Within the past two years, it has expanded its new Spanish-language radio format from Houston into Miami and New York City, produced an award-winning dramatic podcast series, Scrooge: A Christmas Carol, and began construction of its new headquarters. Paulo adds, “We have an incredible team of dedicated and talented professionals and an energized base of donor support. We believe our best days as a ministry are yet to come to engage people through media to love Jesus, serve others, and spread hope.”
